Unmasking plant secrets in the Dolan Lab 🔬🌱

[Biochemical Society @BiochemSoc]

Demonstrating exceptional originality across multiple research fields, we are excited to present Juan Carlos De La Concepcion with an Early Career Research Award in 2026! @delaconcepcionj has made fundamental discoveries in plant immunity & the biology of immune receptor function

[GMI Vienna gmivienna.bsky.social @gmivienna]

New paper alert! The labs of Liam Dolan (@DolanLab) and Frédéric Berger combined global climate data with a new population genomics database to identify genetic variants related to climate adaptation in Marchantia polymorpha. Read more: https://t.co/B22kmIkSW9

New paper alert! Victoria Spencer and Liam Dolan trace the earliest steps of Marchantia polymorpha development.

[Vienna BioCenter Scientific Training @TrainingVbc]

The @viennabiocenter Summer School 2025 call is now open for talented undergrads, it's a great opportunity for students who are interested in the life sciences. Check out Nick Irwin's group:

Glad to see it online. What a journey with all the tears and joy🥹We will continue on the road of defence & developement Signalling specificity in #galls 💪🌿🦟

[Roger Castells @rcastellsg]

Excited to share our latest manuscript on virus maturation!
We've successfully solved the structures of five intermediates in the NωV maturation process and unraveled the intricate structural reorganization required for infection.

🆕 & 🆒#Preprint led by @delaconcepcionj adressing a key #evocellbio question: How can individual subunits of multimeric protein complexes functionally diversify without compromising the ancestral complex? (Using plant #Exo70 & #exocyst as template) )https://t.co/j9d2NJkWRl 🧵

In our new “Behind The Science”, Postdoc Zsuzsanna Mérai reflects on her career at the GMI and shares how she helped establish Aethionema arabicum as a novel plant model organism. Zsuzsanna’s research was recently published in Current Biology. https://t.co/rXlY0b5aYY

@PlantoPhagy Happy birthday!

[GMI Vienna gmivienna.bsky.social @gmivienna]

New paper alert! Sarah Attrill and @DolanLab report on @Dev_journal that microtubules and actin filaments direct the movement of the nucleus during symmetry breaking, a key process for asymmetric cell division in the Marchantia polymoprha spore. https://t.co/p3sWwKbueG

Register to attend our next Development presents... webinar on plant development!

📅Wed 31 July 16:00BST

🌱Chaired by @Dev_journal Editor Dominique Bergmann @stanfordstomata and featuring talks by @mCherry81197466, @vspencer31 and @GwenKirschner

[Eva-Sophie Wallner @ES_Wallner]

Happy to share our new preprint on de novo meristem formation from a single-celled Marchantia spore with @DolanLab. We discovered that a set sequence of cell division patterns develop the first flat and dorsoventralised plant body (flabellum) on which the meristem forms de novo.

[Danve Castroverde @DanveC]

Exciting new results from the @DesveauxLab and @dguttman Labs at @UofTCellSysBiol!

[Marta Salas Gómez @msalasgomez]

Join us next week to hear about @delaconcepcionj 's most recent work in @PlantoPhagy lab. Looking forward to it!🔎

[Roger Castells @rcastellsg]

Thrilled to share that our latest designed protein cage structure is featured on the cover of Acta Crystallographica Section F!

[Roger Castells @rcastellsg]

New publication! We succeeded in crystalizing a designed imaging scaffold (based on a protein cage), opening the possibility to use them to determine the structure of cargoes and small proteins in X-ray crystallography in addition to cryo-EM!

The Lange Nacht der Forschung on May 24th was a total success! Over 3k people visited the Austrian Academy of Sciences @oeaw, where GMI scientists discussed genetic selection of crops through human history, as well as the use of CRISPR-based gene editing to improve crops.
